Wait, what did you consider Eric to be? He plays in the exact same areas but with much less quality.Second striker

There is a post just above your own pointing out just how many chances he created.Nothing special from a second striker especially with the amount of pens he's taken.
What's left out from those stats is the amount of promising attacks he's ruined with a poor pass and poor decision making. He's a player who doesn't enhance the performances of his teammates.
Why stop there, go on and tell Bruno is a CF.Wait, what did you consider Eric to be? He plays in the exact same areas but with much less quality.
Even last season he created most chances in PL and IIRC most in top 5 leagues.There is a post just above your own pointing out just how many chances he created.
You also don't get 20 assists by scoring penalties. He may well mess up some attacks (show me a player who doesn't) but your post is ridiculous.
I see a world class player who is easily our best player. Can he have poor games or frustrating moments sure but more often than not he’s brilliant and does enough to influence the game. If you were talking about Rashford I might have a little bit more time for the opinion as he’s genuinely frustrating as hell but Bruno is far more refined and better than then.So you don't see his poor passing and poor decision making? You must be blind cause after many games you see people talked about how he was missing simple passes or how he was going for the killer ball when it wasn't there. You think it's all made up?
This is a strange hill to die on.Nothing special from a second striker especially with the amount of pens he's taken.

He really struggles to manage his key players because he's so reliant on them.we'll run him to the ground a'la Rashford, Ole's style
We don't have a cohesive tactical team. What ole goes for is to fit the most match winners he can in a team and it has worked until it hasn't. Bruno just has to be there for his individual brilliance. Same with Rashford. I think both these players can be better in a better coached team.we'll run him to the ground a'la Rashford, Ole's style
Why would we play him to his strength? We can always use him further back to 'control the midfield' because at Manchester United, playing 2 midfielders is not enough.Feel like his movement is something that isn't talked about much.
He always finds space. Just about always, against any opposition.
Outside of his free role across the park, he has a Cavani-like knack of ghosting between defenders before they've even realized.
Time and time again, people pull up a heat map to dismiss this myth, but time and time again, you'll insist he plays like a second striker.. At times he's more advanced than the number 9
He ran from behind Ronaldo to press the CB's on numerous occasions today, which when the ball moved was making us even easier to get at. Maybe just play Bruno as a false 9 with Greenwood and Rashford, and stiffen the midfield.He needs to stop pretending to be a number 9 and start helping in midfield.
he could be even better. he’s just as productive at sporting where they played 433, he plays fine for portugal too.I think he's in for a bit of a rude awakening if we get a manager who actually tries to implement some kind or system. He's perfect for our moments FC brand of football, but is so ridiculously wasteful and plays far too high up the pitch. I can't imagine him playing in a team that looks to keep the ball.
100% this, he needs to play deeper to be able to thread through passes. And one of the young guys need to start the press, not him.I don't like the position he plays in at all.
Yeah I'm not a fan of this super high up Bruno we've been getting now.I don't like the position he plays in at all.
Hard disagree. He reminds me a bit of a better mkhitarian or however he spelled it. Would have a shit game overall but somehow would get a goal/assist to make his stats look better. He can play a great ball but he clearly is not playing the right overall role for the team. Just hard to put a finger directly on it. Overall needs to contribute a bit more deeper in midfield and do the simpler things betterSurprised to see criticism here. We're like a one man team at the minute with Fernandes head and shoulders above the others
Hes not immune from criticism of course and there are areas where he could improve but i think we're absolutely blessed to have him and he'd walk into and find absurd new levels in any top functioning side with an actual style of play. Even today while poor he still looked most likely to create. A winner through and through and i feel sorry for him at the momentHard disagree.
